Hacienda Azul, Costa Rica 70%

These beans come from Hacienda Azul, a single estate just north of Turrialba in central Costa Rica. The cacao trees on the estate grow in a diversified agroforestry system surrounded by jungle flora in a biodiverse habitat. These beans are roasted at different temperatures to create a dynamic range of flavors highlighting the beans’ intrinsic sweetness. We taste chocolate almond biscotti and buttery caramel. All Dandelion single-origin chocolate is made with just cocoa beans and sugar; no added cocoa butter, lecithin, or vanilla. Their chocolate is free of soy, dairy, eggs, and gluten, and it is made in a factory that does not process nuts.
